Nobody has been “indoctrinated” simply because they can come to grips with reality. The difference here is that some of us can understand that we are going to have to give up some liberty to accommodate others. But, I'm guessing on this, you are angry there is a fishing license (cause there wasn't in 1920) and you are angry that you have to check with the HOA to build a fence (cause you didn't in 1950).
Sure we can agree to disagree, but the Libertine sound of your original complaint foments unrest and rebellion, versus compromise and understanding. No wonder we conservatives are being marginalized.
I find it funny that you feel the need to fabricate “my side of the argument”.
To quote you: “But, you cry, no one should be able to limit your right to smoke, shoot, eat, drive, etc.”
No where in this or any other post did I “cry” about any of these things…
I never said anything about any of these things…
You somehow decided to make up “my side of the argument” as some irrational stance that includes discharging firearms in densely populated areas for fun while I blow smoke in your face and drive my car through stop signs at a high rate of speed while I’m on my way to the nearest fast-food joint to scarf down 6 cheese burgers, 4 orders of French fries and a huge chocolate shake, after which I plan to go my house to pour some toxic liquid into the public water supply.
Are you Schizophrenic or just a liberal?
